Part of me knows decriminalizing the possession of marijuana would be great for state governments (for tax revenue) but also could act as a stepping stone to other harmful drugs like cocaine or heroin. The users might want to experience an even greater high because marijuana no longer gives them the same pleasure. <br /><br />The issue is known all around the world and I watched a show on the history channel about marijuana and so far, no country legalizes the use of marijuana. In places like Holland it is decriminalized which just means the possession penalty is not nearly as harsh (basically). <br /><br />Great article though, it was interesting to see the science of THC in the brain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550755814987664025.post-16134316911697353702011-12-06T19:58:14.372-08:002011-12-06T19:58:14.372-08:00Without reasonable doubt the cop cant really say a...Without reasonable doubt the cop cant really say anything about it unless he smells it inside of the car. Then he will have a reason to search your car and if he finds anything he would give you a possession charge, and can say your driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol. But without proper justification the cop couldnt really do anything about testing for marijuana.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550755814987664025.post-53471936207875086792011-12-06T19:30:12.515-08:002011-12-06T19:30:12.515-08:00I like how you gave both positive and negative sid...I like how you gave both positive and negative side of legalization of pot. My question is that is is known to slow your reaction time down if it is made legal and someone is caught driving will "high" how can the cop test for itBrad Sekashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186595323754076003noreply@blogger.com
